*Oh My Gosh! We reached 1,000+ views already! I love you guys so much. Back to the normal A/N*
I'm surprised all of you think Elle will come crawling back, begging for mercy. C'mon, she's a very independent person... Who am I kidding? She's so dead. Or maybe not...
I looked around the treetops, trying to decide what to do. I honestly had no clue what I was doing. Mike and Sky had taught me how to craft some basic items, but that was it. I was on my own. I sighed in exasperation and scanned the area for something useful. It was hopeless.
I sat down on the tree and pulled out my comb. Working on my looks always made me feel better. I went through all the snarls in my hair, trying not to cry at how messy it was. I put that away and pulled out my red lipstick. Finally feeling like I was presentable, I took out the diamond and turned it over in my hands. "You better help me, I lost my only chance of survival for you." I muttered, staring at my reflection in the shiny surface. I was unrecognizable.
I felt the warmth of the sun on my back and looked up. It was finally morning again. The sound of zombies dying filled the air below me. That wouldn't do me much good, I was still clueless. Maybe I wanted the monsters to kill me. It might transport me back to the real world. 'Or it could backfire and kill you for real.' A voice in my head chimed in. I told it to shut up and looked out at the trees. One of the ones behind me was turning orange... Were those flames? That tree was on fire! It wasn't the sun's warmth at all!
I felt flames swirling around my back and I yelped. Running over the trees, I headed straight away from that sight. I didn't know how it happened, but I wasn't planning on burning to death. I ran across treetops, the thought of how I made the jumps barely grazing my mind. I kept on sprinting until I couldn't anymore, and I collapsed onto a tall oak tree. I felt my stomach rumble from hunger and I sighed.
I bit into one of my last pieces of steak and thought about what I'd do. I had just escaped that tree on my own, so I didn't feel completely useless. It wasn't exactly what you'd call a challenge but it gave me hope. I finished the meat and felt full again, but I didn't want to run. Maybe I could just stay on this tree until this was all over. When would this be over? No one had ever told me if there was an end. Was I stuck here forever?
I felt the tears involuntarily slide down my cheek. "Stop it, now's not the time to cry." I scolded, but it didn't help. Soon I was a sobbing mess. I hugged my knees to my chest and rested on my side. My hair became a mess again but I didn't care. I didn't even care how I looked anymore. It wouldn't matter what I looked like if I died here. Nothing mattered anymore. My pride, my looks, my personality. It had taken away the only two people I knew, probably the only other ones here. I had screwed up. God, I was so stupid! To think they would just accept me, guide me through this. Yeah, keep on dreaming. Human nature is selfish. They only wanted to get themselves out of this. I was just an annoyance, simply along for the ride. They never really cared about me. Who would?
A voice interrupted my train of thought. "Shut up already! Go away!"
"Cause baby, tonight! The creepers gonna steal all our stuff again!" A second voice sang.
"Be quiet, you aren't helping!"
I wiped my tears off my face and peered down. There was a man with odd colored skin wearing a turquoise T-shirt and blue pants- That was a mistake. Trailing behind him was a guy in black and white with red sunglasses much smaller than Sky's. I observed curiously as the man yelled at the sunglasses dude.
"If you had just stopped narrating everything I did we wouldn't be in this situation!" He yelled.
"Dig up diamonds and craft those diamonds-" The other man said in a different voice.
"No! I won't craft anything you tell me to!"
And that's how it went on for a while. One man yelling, the other singing. Eventually I decided to stop this. "Shut up, both of you!" I called down to them.
The both looked around in confusion. "Who's there?"
I jumped off my tree, catching a vine on the way. "I'm Elle Meadows, and you are?"
"Steve." The one in a mismatched outfit replied.
I looked at the other guy. "Does he tall at all, or-"
"I can speak." He answered in a voice similar to when he rapped. He reached out for a handshake. "I'm CaptainSparklez."
I cautiously took his hand. "Is that supposed to be a joke?"
"It was a dare." He said defensively. "It was a dare."
I eyed his outfit. "Is that an Usher costume? Is that why you sing everything?"
He nodded. "I'm glad someone appreciates my singing." He glared at Steve briefly.
These guys were weird, but what other choice did I have? "Why are you guys here anyways?"
Steve frowned. "You see, this bozo thought it would be funny to sing about me getting attacked by a creeper. And I actually did while I was mining. So now I'm running for my life, except I kinda ran outta food."
I tossed them each a steak. "I see. Were you two magically transported into this game as well?"
"Game? This is life, girl." Steve answered. Behind him CaptainSparklez was nodding. Interesting... It appeared that Steve was from here. Maybe he could help me find the end.
"Right." I agreed. "Hey, Steve, do you know if there's an end?"
"The End?" He repeated. "I've heard legends, yes, but I'm not sure. They say that you follow the Eyes of Ender and find a portal. Many have tried, yet none have returned."
Perfect. "How do we get these Eyes of Ender?"
"You have to-"
"Shut up, Jordan." Steve interrupted. His name must be Jordan. "You have to combine blaze rods with enderpearls."
"Enderpearls and blaze rods?" I echoed, unsure of what he was talking about. "What are those?"
He smiled. "I'm sure you've seen Endermen, no?"
"The tall guys with glowing eyes." Jordan explained.
"Yes, yes. Occasionally they drop enderpearls. And the blaze rods are tough to get. You have to go to hell, also known as the Nether. There you'll find many monsters, but all you need to kill are the flaming ones."
"I have to kill monsters who are on fire?" I exclaimed. "That's ridiculous."
He tilted his head. "Are you from here?" I looked at Jordan, trying to decided what to say. He shrugged, so I nodded. "Hmm. You don't act like it."
"Let's just start gathering supplies." I said quickly.
"Oh, you expect us to help you?" He asked. I smiled eagerly. "Fine, but you have to do something for me."
"Anything." I agreed.
"You have to help me kill a creeper once and for all."
I nodded. It seemed simple enough. My new friends and I started gathering more wood, Jordan humming his song in the background.
I bet you can't guess who I'm adding next based on something that has Revenge on it... Leave a review telling me who and where you found it. I'm tired, three hours of sleep, not counting the day, doesn't work for me. Goodbye my lovely readers!
